How greatly do we honor the pioneers of our faith? That’s the point of Hebrews 11, the “Hall of Faith” chapter that honors the righteous saints of old going back to Abraham. We could bring that list forward to the present, including many who have been on the cutting edge of new moves of the Almighty. But do we think about what life was like for them? The “normal folks” of their times would have considered them radicals, heretics, rebels, outcasts, and many other unpleasant things simply because they were following the lead of the Holy Spirit into something our God wanted to emphasize that the “mainstream” of the day had missed. That’s why people like the Pilgrims, the Puritans, and the Moravian Brethren had to move to new lands to carry out the commissions God had given them.
Does that still happen in our day? Perhaps it does. The journey of Dr. David Jones and the congregation of Ruach Ministries International shares some of the same elements of those stories of the faithful pioneers from long ago. Of course, as David explains, one of those elements is a degree of zeal for the new understanding of scripture that sometimes results in strained or broken relationships with those we love the most. How did that work out for David’s family? That’s what he begins to share in this second of our three-part conversation with him.
This brings up the question of how to apply zeal in a way that uplifts rather than divides. David joins Barry Phillips in discussing that question in the midrash they call, “Zealous.” Their discussion provides plenty of material for pondering as we hear the music of Solomon Lopez and Jimmie Black.

The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.
Acts 9:7
Although they weren't blinded like Saul (aka Paul), there were multiple witnesses to his encounter with Yeshua on the road to Damascus. We don't know what happened to them, but one way or another, their testimony would become part of the public record and evidence in Saul's favor in the eyes of the Disciples.
Q54: Who did Paul instruct "to abide still at Ephesus...that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, neither give heed to fables..."?

1 Timothy 1:2-4
But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.
Acts 9:6
Yeshua didn't make Saul turn around and go back to Jerusalem. Like the angel who stopped Balaam on the road, Yeshua stopped Saul for a moment and then told him to carry on, but with a new mission.
And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
Acts 9:4
Persecuting Yeshua's people is the same as persecuting Yeshua himself. There's no indication that the Christians in Syria were especially righteous. They were people just like any other--flawed and sinful--yet Yeshua still called them "me".
Be careful whom you persecute.
[Saul asked the high priest] for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Acts 9:2
By what authority could Saul (aka Paul) kidnap people from one Roman province and bring them to another? Surely, the Romans would have taken a very dim view of his activities, regardless of the high priest's approval. It seems that he operated like a first century Mossad.

i am a Messianic Torah observer and i have a hard time following this. Why do we not make things as simply as they can be made? Everyone is so hung up on "restored names" and other high-mindedness that they are muddying up the message with "corrections" that make things hard to read and follow.

It's like (similar to something else) trying (attempting/efforting/striving) to read (ingest written text) english (language spoken primarily in the UK and the americas) mixed (combined yet not emulsified) with (ancient form of written language from egypt) hieroglyphics.

We should do as paul did and start where people are.
